During the first two weeks of June 2003 I arranged a program for mid-career journalists visiting from Nepal, Sri Lanka, Tanzania, and India. The activity, funded by a US State Department grant, included visits to Chicago news media and media outlets in Southern Illinois along with a full helping of Southern Illinois University programs in Carbondale. In Chicago the group had a chance to visit with the Illinois Lt. Gov. Pat Quinn. This visit is part of a continuing program administered by Journalism School faculty.
